Recently we found imagery from the Desert Dingo website being used by another blogger. The issue has since been resolved.

An extremely early birthday present from Roxanne came in the mail today. A custom Flip HD camera with a photo of 1107 printed on the front. We’ve been using a standard Flip for several years with decent results. We’ll test it at the SNORE 250 in early October and at the World Diabetes Congress later in the month. And, naturally, at the Baja 1000.
Thank you Roxanne 🙂
Shawn did this for about five minutes before I declared it “too hot” and we went in and played Baja on the xBox.
It’s bad enough racing in the heat, but when it’s 100 on the front porch and we (ok, Shawn) is sanding on a white car in the glaring sun. Well, there are limits. We declared the body work “good enough for rock and roll” and headed inside, where it wasn’t much cooler.
It’s too hot to write a blog post even. So I’ll just post this photo. We’re in third place in class and 25th overall out of 193 vehicles that have raced SNORE this season. Not shabby.
August 24 , 2009, Santa Cruz, Calif. –TrailGlow Lighting, a leading provider of high intensity lighting systems for the off road racing community, announced today that it is sponsoring Desert Dingo Racing’s 2009 off road racing season, including the Baja 1000 in Mexico in November.
Desert Dingo Racing campaigns a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle in off road races in the U.S. and Mexico. The team is the official World Diabetes Day off road race team and works with the International Diabetes Federation to raise money for diabetes education and awareness programs.
TrailGlow Lighting provides the best affordable HID lights available as well as custom lighting systems, including INERGY number panels and decals that greatly increase visibility during night races.
I am of the opinion that bondo is right up there with gravity, magnetism, subatomic attraction and duct tape when it comes to sticking to stuff.
Shawn came by today and worked his magic on 1107’s dents, including the rather large gouge I’m pretty sure I made trying to kick the jack off the car during my ill-fated seat time at the Mint 400. While he worked on smoothing out the body in advance of painting, I pulled fenders off 1117. The goal will be to paint them at the same time.
Richard came by. We called a quick meeting, mostly as an excuse to play Baja: Edge of Control on the xBox. They were both good, but no match for my mad skillz.
Big announcement tomorrow. Photos from today’s work here.
